random_color

Rust crate for generating random attractive colors. Check it out on crates.io.

Inspired by RandomColor by davidmerfield.

Example projects

Amazing rust projects using random_color:

fake-rs — a library for generating fake data in Rust

news-flash — a modern feed reader designed for the GNOME desktop

cargo-trend — cargo subcommand to generate trend graph of dependent crates

light_phylogeny — rust library dedicated to phylogeny

Voronoi — simple program that draws Voronoi cells for a set of points

conways-game-of-life — conways' game of life in rust and with shiny colors

graph-sketchpad — program which allows one to visually create nodes and edges, simply using sdl2

CDCS — helper program for creating Symphony of Empires mods

Using the library

Check the online documentation.

use random_color::color_dictionary::{ColorDictionary, ColorInformation};
use random_color::{Color, Luminosity, RandomColor};

let color = RandomColor::new()
  .hue(Color::Blue) // Optional
  .luminosity(Luminosity::Light) // Optional
  .seed(42) // Optional
  .alpha(1.0) // Optional
  .dictionary(ColorDictionary::new()) //optional
  .to_hsl_string(); // 

// color => "hsl(179, 99%, 10%)"

Hue values

Color::Monochrome
Color::Red
Color::Orange
Color::Yellow
Color::Green
Color::Blue
Color::Purple
Color::Pink

Luminosity values

Luminosity::Random
Luminosity::Bright
Luminosity::Light
Luminosity::Dark

Alpha values

You can specify a value between 0 and 1 with .alpha()
You can specify a random value with .random_alpha()

Outputs

  // As HSV Array
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_hsv_array(); // color => [179, 20, 100]

  // As RGB String
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_rgb_string(); // color => "rgb(204, 255, 254)"

  // As RGBA String
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_rgba_string(); // color => "rgba(204, 255, 254, 1)"

  // As RGB Array
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_rgb_array(); // color => [204, 255, 254]

  // As HSL String
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_hsl_string(); // color => "hsl(179, 99%, 10%)"

  // As HSLA String
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_hsla_string(); // color => "hsl(179, 99%, 10%, 1)"

  // As HSL Array
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_hsl_array(); // color => [179, 99, 10]
  
  // As Hex String
  let color = RandomColor::new().to_hex(); // color => "#b31464"
